Express Catering. What is it?

Express Catering is a service extension of an established restaurant (or caterer) that is designed to work in concert with day-to-day operations and provide an additional stream of revenue. Express Catering provides customers the opportunity to host an event (business lunch, family gathering, holiday party, etc.) and enjoy the great food and experience of their favorite restaurant at their home, place of business or in any setting of their choice.
